Happy New Year "2008"

Happy New Year to you and your families. I pray the Lord will bless all His children in the months to come.

The new year always brings with it the chance for a fresh start and a way to begin anew. I got thinking about that and realized because of Jesus Christ all people can have a fresh start everyday of their lives. What a great feeling to wake up every morning and realize the new day has brought with it the opportunity to do something great. Our pastor at church challenged us all on Sunday to go the extra mile and set goals for our spiritual lives, kind of like a business plan for our walks with the Lord for 2008. What a great idea! Of course we don't have to start with a blank page we have the Bible God's living Word as a blueprint for our daily lives. Thank you Lord for giving us Your Word to guide us on our earthly journey.

God bless you all this year. Let's make everyday count, for the Lord gives us many opportunities to make a difference. Let's make Him proud as our heavenly Father should be of all His children.
